Ingredients
- 5 cups flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1/4 cups margarine (cold)
- 3 eggs
- 1/2-3/4 cup milk (cold)
Preparation
Step 1
Mix flour, sugar & powder well.
Cut margarine in small cubes (cut long ways then short ways for tiny cubes).
Throw margarine cubes into flour, then work it into flour until evenly broken up--much like making a pie crust.
Add eggs (mix first in separate bowl) and rub together until even.
Add milk & mix until not sticky but balls up.
Roll out on floured surface about 1/4-1/3" thick.
Spread with jam or jelly on entire surface leaving 1/2 " space along edges.
Roll dough into one large log & fold ends under to keep jelly from oozing out.
Transfer to foil lined cookie sheet.
Bake at 275 degrees for 45 minutes.
